Ray Dalio (@RayDalio) “As the New Year approaches and I have been reflecting on the last year, I looked” — TopicDigg

As the New Year approaches and I have been reflecting on the last year, I looked back at which “Principles of the Day" people found most valuable. They are shown in this attached top 3 list. When they're looked at together, they paint a pretty good picture of the approach to life that has worked well for me. They emphasize the value of learning from mistakes (especially painful ones), working open-mindedly with other people to gain other perspectives that can help you, understanding how to thoughtfully disagree to get at the what's true and what to do about it, meditating, and not being held hostage to seeking the approval of others. As you know, under each Principle of the Day post is the reasoning behind the principle, which is typically even more interesting than the principle. I wish you a new year of great personal evolution and great contributions to evolution of the greater whole.
